Leaving your job qualifies as a "life changing event" and allows you to sign up for private insurance under ACA. You don't need to wait for open enrollment.

You know, you can pay for private health insurance if you don't have a job. And if you have an emergency fund or (micro) retirement fund, it should include funds for health insurance.

Right? If it's in drinking water, why wouldn't it also be in beer?

They're just saving face. If Trump wanted Musk around, he would stick around. Whether that's in DOGE or some other part of government.

After all the laws Trump has broken, you think that's the line he won't cross?

Yes, but temporary fixes are the most permanent.

Looks like the thread is handling most of the force, and the glue is just keeping it in place.

Yeah, there are even bridges for IRC and email. But those are just bridges, and since the underlying services don't use the same protocols it'll never have the same level of integration as true federation.

One of those is not like the others... Did you know Lemmy and Mastodon servers can federate with each other so users can see each others posts and comment, etc?

There are several ways. There could be a vulnerability in one of the underlying algorithms, in the crypto system, or in the implementation.

I'm not saying signal isn't secure, but encryption can absolutely be hacked.

Was it sold as pure NaCl? Probably not...

America used cubic inches for most of the 20th century. The chevy big block engine line was pretty popular, check out the different sizes it was made in: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_big-block_engine

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
